Old Wounds

Asbury Park, NJ

Born in the New Jersey hardcore scene of the late ’00s, Old Wounds picked up momentum with the 2013 release of its debut LP, From Where We Came Is Where We’ll Rest. Of that album, Pitchfork reported: “The trio emerges irate here, lashing ahead at a furious hardcore clip alongside screams about tears and disappointment… [Old Wounds] pairs the maudlin pages of high school diaries with a grown-ass band’s precision and power.” In the months to come, Old Wounds proved itself a relentless DIY machine, setting out on back-to-back US tours with peers like The Banner, Full of Hell and Vices, and teaming up for various split releases. It was then, that their identity came into sharp focus: a self-sufficient, road-hungry crew of young bucks, cloaked in bold graphics, reviving the spirit of turn-of the-millennium metallic hardcore for the next generation.
